NICKMERCS refutes claims that the Bruen Mk9 has \u201cruined\u201d Warzone Infinity Ward\/FaZe ClanPopular Twitch streamer and ex-Call of Duty competitor NICKMERCS has challenged claims that the Bruen Mk9 has \u201cruined\u201d Warzone, suggesting that there are other issues that remain far more damaging. Despite Warzone\u2019s incredible popularity, certain issues have risen to the surface in CoD\u2019s sophomore battle royale effort. The Grau 5.56 dominated weapon choices for the game\u2019s opening months, and received a moderate nerf from Infinity Ward. With the fall of the Grau came the rise of the Bruen, another DLC weapon from Modern Warfare \u2014 this time an LMG. The gun\u2019s incredible damage and range are complimented by its modest recoil, making it the best weapon in the game at almost any range. A lot of Warzone\u2019s most prominent creators have called for it to be nerfed, but those calls have fallen on deaf ears at Infinity Ward \u2013 so far, at least. One of these figures who has been a vocal critic of the Bruen is ex-CoD pro turned caster Anthony \u2018NAMELESS\u2019 Wheeler, who simply tweeted: \u201cThe Bruen has ruined Warzone.\u201d NICKMERCS, though, wasn\u2019t having any of it, and responded to suggest that there are more pressing issues plaguing Warzone than the Bruen\u2019s relative strength. \u201cFirst the Grau, now the Bruen,\u201d he replied. \u201cThere will be something next & something after. Not to mention how the bots all quit as time goes on so the game naturally becomes more sweaty. If anything is shitting on Warzone right now it\u2019s the hackers imo.\u201d First the Grau, now the Bruen. There will be something next & something after. Not to mention how the bots all quit as time goes on so the game naturally becomes more sweaty. If anything is shitting on Warzone right now it\u2019s the hackers imo. \u2014 nickmercs (@NICKMERCS) July 28, 2020 NICKMERCS\u2019 argument is essentially that, while the Bruen is definitely powerful, the improving standard of the average player is compounding its strength, not to mention that there will always be a dominant weapon in a game like Warzone. The hacking issue, he said, is the biggest problem facing the game right now. Despite weeks of player complaints, many argue the developers are yet to take meaningful action against hackers. In fact, many players actually criticized their latest update on cheaters, arguing they have not taken sufficient action and simply demanding players stop hacking is not enough. While there are plenty of players unhappy with the Bruen, it\u2019s fair to say that many more are unhappy with the hacking situation. After all, players annihilating enemies with the Bruen are at least playing within the rules. Over time, both issues will likely be looked at and patched, but for now it\u2019s just part of the Warzone experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
